The Program is interested in expanding these efforts to include communicating emerging research results from the connected vehicle program to a wider audience of transportation professionals, including future ITS professionals at the college and university levels. Where possible, the Program wishes to partner with professional associations, universities, or others to deliver ITS learning to affiliated members in the most efficient and effective manner. rmajette on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES New Delivery Mechanisms for ITS Learning The ITS PCB Program promotes ITS learning that is engaging, effective, and responsive to customer needs. We are seeking ideas for innovative learning techniques that are: • Interactive; • Collaborative—through the use of social media or other ‘virtual’ meeting spaces; • Designed for the adult learner; • Internet-based to reduce time and expense; • Targeted to specific ITS audiences; • Results oriented with the goal of moving ITS into deployment. The USDOT has issued this RFI to help determine the most promising technologies and applications. Responders are reminded that feedback or comments on any aspect of this notice are welcomed from all interested public, private, and academic entities. While all feedback is welcomed, the USDOT is particularly interested in feedback on the following questions. Respondents may respond to some, all, or none of these specific questions. List of Questions 1. In what specific content areas does the transportation profession most need learning regarding ITS technologies? 2. Are there different audience needs for ITS learning? How would you segment these audiences? Examples might be by role, such as planner, engineer, decision maker, researcher, or by organization, such as state department of transportation, transit agency, universities, or private sector organizations. 3. Are there specific educational methods or techniques that the USDOT could employ to accelerate the movement of ITS technologies into deployment that would lower the cost and improve the quality of ITS learning? What are these, and how might they be implemented? Examples could be elearning techniques, interactive games, or simulations. The learning techniques VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:51 Jul 27, 2011 Jkt 223001 do not have to be specific to ITS, but must be adaptable to an audience of working transportation professionals. 4. The ITS JPO is particularly interested in the use of video to demonstrate ITS technologies in use for training purposes. a. Are you aware of or do you possess video depicting the application of ITS technology, a guest speaker or expert discussing an important ITS concept, or a transportation agency representative, public official, or citizen describing the benefits of ITS technology in his or her community? b. How might videos be incorporated into Web-based courses to better engage adult learners? 5. Are you aware of any ITS training applications that work on a mobile phone or smart phone platform? Examples might relate to traffic and weather alerts, route planning tools, or eco-driving applications. How could this ITS technology be adapted to serve as a training tool for potential ITS deployers? 6. How might social media collaboration tools be used to engage audiences in ITS learning? Examples might include using a social media site for collaboration on coursework, or enabling text messages for quick responses during an e-learning. 7. Are you aware of any learning materials beyond what has been developed by the USDOT that explain the concepts of connected vehicle technology? This technology may be based on Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), other wireless technology or a combination. The Connected Vehicle Research Program has developed Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Test Beds. Information about these facilities may be found here: https://www.its.dot.gov/ connected_vehicle/ technology_testbed2.htm. a. What kind of Web-based training should be developed to illustrate the concepts of connected vehicle technology to an audience of potential deployers? b. What kinds of hands-on exercises could be incorporated in Web-based training to demonstrate the utility of the DSRC or commercial broadband equipment in enabling connected vehicle concepts? c. How might the Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Test Beds be used as teaching tools over the next five years?
